MR. EDITOR—I perceive by your paper of the sixth instant, that you are asked the question, if you can inform the public whether Miss Ammadown was poisoned with Lobelia, burned up with composition drops, or steamed to death. I think you can answer the question to the satisfaction of the few, who do not already know, by publishing the annexed Certificate.
This may certify that the Physician and brother alluded to in the notice of the decease of Miss Ammadown, of Southbridge, have both before me, declared that the statements therein contained are true, and that they are ready, if called before an authorized tribunal, to verify the same by their Oaths.
H. A. MANCHESTER, Justice of the Peace.
